EPHRATA (Lancaster Co.)
‘Topping the thrill of having my
students chosen as two of the top
three winners at the Lancaster Sci
ence Fair,” Ephrata Senior High
School teacher Patricia Wee said,
“seemed impossible.”
But when Travis Frey, 18, an
Ephrata High School senior and
Lancaster’s grand champion, was
chosen second in his field at the In
ternational Science Fair in Tucson,
Ariz., both students and teachers
were charged with even more ex
citement
This was the 47th annual inter
national science fair competition.
At the event 1,067 students from
40 different countries competed
for awards from industries, univer
sities, and other sponsors and for
first second, third, and fourth
places in each scientific field.
Travis is the son of Barry and
Janice Frey, Ephrata and a member
of the Cloister FFA. Travis’s pro
ject “Solving a Major Problem for
Local Agriculture: Elimination of
Black Nightshade By Manipula
tion of Nutrients In the Soil,” took
the highest award in Lancaster
County. He was flown to Arizona
to compete against 75 other stu
dents in the botany division.
After unpacking and assembling
his very large project display
which had been shipped to Tucson
earlier, Travis successfully pre
sented his research to the judges.

One judge said to Travis, “We
need more people like you work

ing, students enjoyed trips to
Tombstone, the Sonora Desert
Museum, and Nogales, Mexico.
The week-long event was high
